CHANNEL CONTROL SECTION:
1.   PEAK LED INDICATORS & TRIm CONTROL - 

 

PEAK INDICATORS -

 These LED indicators will “light” when the input signal reaches 5db below the 

channel’s clipping point. If the LED “lights” more then usual, you should use the 

TRIM CONTROL

 to 

decrease the input level of the channel. If this does not work, reduce the output level of the connected 
source.

TRIm CONTROL - 

This adjustment is used to adjust the audio source signal input gain for a channel. 

The best S/N and dynamic range balance will be reached if you adjust the TRIM CONTROL so that the 
PEAk INDICATORS “light” occasionally. 
Channel Sensitivity”
 

MIC input sensitivity is b6db and -50db. 

 

Line input sensitivity is b14db and -30db.

 

The Mono/Stereo Combo input channel sensitivity is b20db and -20db.

2.  HPF (HIGH PASS FILTER) BUTTON - 

This button toggles the HPF (Hight Pass Filter) on or off. To 

turn the HPF on press the button in. The HPF cuts frequencies  below 75Hz.

3. EQUALIZER - Please see the chart below for the max. Boost/Cut for each control. 
   CHANNEL HIGH CONTROL -

 This knob is used to adjust the high (treble) frequency levels of the channel. 

Turning the knob in a counter-clockwise direction will decrease the amount of treble applied to a channel 
signal, turning the knob in a clockwise direction will increase the amount of treble applied to a channel signal.

    CHANNEL mID CONTROL -

 This knob is used to adjust the midrange levels of the channel. Turning 

the knob in a counter-clockwise direction will decrease the amount of midrange applied to a channel 
signal, turning the knob in a clockwise direction will increase the amount of midrange applied to a 
channel signal.

   CHANNEL LOw CONTROL -

 

This knob is used to adjust the low frequency levels of the chan-

nel. Turning the knob in a counter-clockwise direction will decrease the amount of bass applied to a 
channel signal, turning the knob in a clockwise direction will increase the amount of bass applied to a 
channel signal.

4. AUX CONTROLS - 

The AUX knobs control the signal level that the channel sends to AUX bus. 

5. EFX CONTROL - 

These knobs control the signal levels sent to the EFX bus. The channel signals 

mixed by this bus have their overall level set by the MASTER EFX SEND control to the EFX jack located 
on the front top panel. 

6. PAN/BALANCE CONTROL - 
PAN (mono Control) - 

This control pans the channel signal across the master L and R buses, there-

fore determining the ideal position of the sound from that channel.

EXAmPLE:

 If the PAN control is set all the way to the left, the sound from that channel will only be
